So Why this Kanji Tattoo fad?


So Why this Kanji Tattoo fad?

We believe that apart from most western celebrities spotting the fashion, the main reason to have a Kanji Tattoo is the special feeling you get by having an “unknown” characters dancing on your skin, kind of remind you of listening and becoming a fan of Korean boyband, although all you can apprehend is “Anyong Haseyo”.

Also Japanese character tattoos appeals so much to the crowd because it inspire conversation and attention due to the lack of surrounding knowledge of the characters. And isn’t that what people tattoo their body for? Attention?

What a lot of readers that lives outside the CJK World (Yes..CJK stands for Chinese Japanese Korean) don’t know is that, not only ignorance of what the character means would leave an embarrassing unerasable gibberish (which apparently is very costly and painful to remove), but it would also lead to nasty people planting some practical joke on your body.

How often do we see world-famous celebrities making tattoo mistakes? Which ends up being a laughing stock in Asian forums..
